Sensitivity of aerosol retrieval to geometrical configuration of ground-based sun/sky radiometer observations

A sensitivity study of aerosol retrievals to the geometrical configuration of the ground-based sky radiometer observations is carried out through inversion tests. Specifically, this study is focused on principal plane and almucantar observations, since these geometries are employed in AERONET (AEros...
